siege defence

I've been playing a new playthrough and i cant seem to actually be able to command the siege defense of a town/castle. It automatically starts the battle without a pre-deployment. What do I need to do? Anyone else have this problem?

I can't build siege Engines as the Defender, but the AI does that automatically. Is there any possibility that i doing a mistake here, or is there some setting for this behaviour ?

I am the sole lord in the castle or in the city but I can not choose which defensive siege engines to be build. I cant choose even that castle or city is mine. I really think that's not a hard code to add. If the player is the sole lord in the castle/city player choose what to build. If the...

Summary: Hello, After some time playing in beta branch 1.8.0 I wanted to share my observations and possible bug reports. My save was started in 1.6.0 apparently, when trying to launch beta I was reminded of that. Had to rollback my game version to 1.7.0 and make new saves before launching...

Siege battle realy need some small improvement that would make some playthroughs much more viable: Arrow Barrels should also provides bolts and javelin/throwing axes (the last two could be discussed). I went for a crossbow playthrough, and their only advantages against bows is precision, while...

Summary: While in a defense siege in Veron Castle I noticed my troops were getting stuck on the stairs to the right of the gatehouse. Walking there I found that I could stand on top of something invisible likely caused by the wall clipping through the ground where those stairs are. How to...

Does anyone know where to tweak gate health, wall health, siege engine health, siege engine damage, etc in both the campaign map and siege battle scenarios? I could not find the xml file except for siegeengines.xml. The only tweak-able values there are the ones that affect only some aspects of...

I've been seeing some strange behaviour which must be linked to how the AI calculates their risk. Noticing this on version 1.6.4. Situation: Atrion castle is under attack. One AI army (1) is close to Rhesos castle and the other (2) near Saneopa. I'm on the Calradia expanded map so there is a...

Do you think it is normal for a player to retreat an infinite number of times while defending a castle? I simulated a situation where I with 100 archers pushed back 1.5k army, just shooting while they approached the walls, and then retreated and did it again and again until victory! From my...

For new siege scenes I would like to suggest destructible doors from the walls to the inside of the towers. Combine this with acces to the walls restricted through staircases inside the towers. This will leave the attacking force vulnerable and exposed on top of the wall. See other...
